Yo Nick, I got a question about your electric guitar work on "In My Head." During the chorus, when you put on that distortion, it sounds almost too beefy to be a guitar. At first I thought it was a bass with distortion (my guess was a Big Muff pedal cause it was so rich and creamy) But then I listened to it again and heard the clean bassline, but I cant get over how that overdrive sounds. So thick and creamy. Like really good fudge. Listening to it makes me hungry its so good. I'm a bass player and the fact that I cant figure it out drives me crazy! What did you do?

Hey Larry,
Thanks! I used a Les Paul through my pod set at the rectified setting and messed with levels there. I then used an acoustic with the same distortion. I didn't know how it would come out, but it seemed to work. Thanks again for your kind words!
Nick

Awesome. That makes sense. What kind of bass did you use to record?
